I am running a Debian machine as a router on my home LAN and also as an
OpenVPN server. The installation was fairly straightforward (as shown in
various web pages obtained via google). The only tricky part is to make
sure that your LAN network is different from the remove LAN network from
where a client may want to connect. So if your LAN network is
192.168.0.0/24, then a remote VPN client also on the same numeric
network will have problems. I just made my LAN network a weird network.
The VPN clients have an IP address of 172.16.x.0/24. Other than that,
most of the stuff worked quite well.
